Education

The following Carroll County High School band students were selected to participate with the 2015 U of L Honors Band Clinic: David Castellon, Jackie Stout, Micah Wallace, Matt O’Neal, Quinton Carey, Dylan Mejia, Michelle Moore, Josh Davila, Madison Hartman and Scarlett Wilson.

Castellon also auditioned and made the Kentucky Music Educators Association All District Symphonic Band.

Educators sometimes field questions from students about the relevancy of learning to the real world. At the Carroll County Area Technology Center (CCATC), that is not a problem. Instructors at the center show students how the world works — literally.

A school district is like an iceberg. Some parts are visible — touchdowns, report cards and playgrounds — while other parts are invisible — program design and planning, curriculum development, assessment management and data analysis. Like an iceberg, what happens below the surface in a school district has a tremendous impact on what happens above the surface.

The Carroll County Board of Education approved $254,305 in capital projects for four of the district’s properties at the Nov. 20 meeting.

The largest of the projects is to replace some of the HVAC at the Area Technology Center. The board voted to accept $99,724 bid by ACCO to remove the rooftop units for the classroom wing and route ductwork that will connect the wing to the large unit installed two years ago. Curell said the unit is large enough to handle the duct work and there will be quite the energy savings.

Using the Herff Jones eShare app, students, parents and community members are now able to submit pictures to the Carroll County High School (CCHS) yearbook staff from Apple and Android devices. Users can download the app from Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Herff Jones has contracted with the Carroll County School District to print the 2014–2015 high school yearbook.
